Wait... this game was made in half a year? Yeah no fucking way. Like A Dragon Gaiden is an amazing spinoff with a lot of love put into it. It has a good story that explores what Kiryu was doing before encountering Ichiban in LaD and it's masterful at expanding the Omi Alliance's world. It also introduces some great characters which I hope appear again in other games cause they're mostly pretty loveable. The fighting styles are also really good, the Yakuza one is the regular Dragon of Dojima style but polished to the max, and the gadgets of the Spy style are incredibly fun to use. The length of this game is also perfect for a spinoff, I don't think the main story is longer than 10 hours, but I did a lot of side content and got over 20. As a whole I wouldn't say Gaiden has any weak spots, but it doesn't really do anything incredible, except for the ending which brought me to fucking tears. Now to impatiently wait for Infinite Wealth.
